Perfect! Leary has also proven his dramatic acting chops in that FX show Rescue Me.

Yeah, Keanu was the one thing I hated about the movie.

thanks guys.

Astonishing X-men I takbe back what I said I did know about that one. I like the art in it, but I was more interested in it since it was beinging written by Joss Whedon.

Well I know that greg and zeph dont, but the rest of you do...hmm..

Actually I don't beyond alphabatizing all the titles, and that's everything Valiant, DC, Marvel, Mirage, NEC, Dark Horse...

I was just throwing my 2 cents into the pole.

I've been out of comics for a while, and I've recently been thinking about wasting some mon- ahem - picking up a few new titles. I was wondering if anybody had any recommendations as I have no clue what's even out there right now.

To give an idea of my tastes I've always liked Valiant (obviously ...

VH-1 because that's where Aric and that incarnation of the X-O Manowar suit came from.

Welcome to the boards.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

The Cheap day's can't be running out! I still have Back Issues to buy!

I really liked it.

I've been a fan of Vertigo for a long time now, and I felt like I was watching a Vertigo Comic Book come to life. I was really impressed with the attention to detail on the set design, lighting and framing.

I could have done without the holywooding up of John Constantine himself ...

...lets put out a #1 issue wiyh 5 different covers!
That was Marvel's idea, though. :P

Yeah, actually Mcfarlane hated the idea of putting out the same book with multiple covers. Notice that no issues of Spawn ran mutiple covers.

For as huge as his ego was Mcfarlane was a good artist (When he ...

I mean, how many of us were abducted by spider aliens? :)

Well I didn't want to admit this, but there was this one time I woke up in a web on a space ship and...

I dunno. Spidey was also put in "our" world. Or at least as much as New York City could be considered "our" world. He wasn't in ...

Actually I think what helped Dark Horse was the strengh of their licenced material. Which is still what they're known for.

When Dark Horse tried to launch their superhero line it was practically D.O.A.

Of course if Valiant went into THIS exact market their once "radical" story telling wouldn't be all that different from their competitors. Realistic art, "real world" scenarios, and more depth and humanity in comics is the current trend now.

I think these things run in cycles. back in the 60's ...

I try to seperate the person from their art, but it can be hard at times.....

True, I really tried to do that, but it go to the point with Spawn where there were inconsistansies from pannel to pannel (some one the same page even), and in that instance it seemed to me that Mcfarlane got to the ...

Actually I admit that I still love his Spider-man comics, but the man's ego is bigger than Billy Coragan's.

That's what turned me off of him.

I looked forward to the launch of Image. I'd always been a fan of indipentents, Mirage Studios (TMNT) is home to the beginning of my serious comic collection.

I loved the artists, God help me I liked McFarlane, but I was and still am a rabid Jim Lee fan.

And it was kind of cool because they tried ...

I'd have to go with "Hush" I was drawn in by Jim Lees art, but the story was great too, one of the best.

I know there are TPBs of all of the EARLY TMNT stuff, but I was already starting to fall out of comics a bit when TMNT #50 came out (Start: "City At War") So I don't know if a TPB of that exists, though I'm sure it does.

Wow, I didn't know Ninjak could be used as a verb :) ...


I'm just good like that... :wink:

Actually "guess I'm weird, but I really Ninjak" is now offically my favorite typo :) . Just imagine the fun you can have using "Ninjak" as a verb:

I Ninjak you!

I'm going to Ninjak you up!

Oh, to ...

A friend pointed me to this and I thought it was funny enough to share. It's a must for Clerks or Marvel Fans.

I had to vote for Archer and Armstrong because I just loved the chemestry between those two characters.

I just recently found this site partly because i just recently found my old comics again. I spent the weekend at my parents place and found all of my old comics. I found myself retreating to the basement all weekend reading my old...Da da DA!...Valiant Comics.

Like a lot of people I was pulled in ...
